Lauv at Polar Palooza

Every Winter Quarter, DePaul hosts Blue Demon Week – aka homecoming! This is a week where many campus organizations host events to celebrate being a Blue Demon. There are so many things to do such as crafts, fitness classes, basketball games, food and even a concert – not to mention tons of DePaul swag. All of this is free too, so it definitely doesn’t get better than that!

What I was most excited for was DePaul Activities Board’s (DAB) Polar-Palooza. Polar-Palooza is the concert that is always held during Blue Demon Week.

This year, they brought out Lauv. He is a musician from San Francisco but wrote his debut EP based on his time in New York where he studied Music Technology at New York University. He’s well known for his singles’ “Easy Love” and “I Like Me Better.” Going to a lot of concerts, it’s always worrisome to me that artists will be terrible live or too flashy, but Lauv did not disappoint. He seemed like he was just having fun dancing and singing on stage.

It’s almost better that Lauv is not too big of an artist yet and is up and coming. I think it’s great that DePaul always gets artists to perform here before they get too big so you get to see them before all of that. And did I mention DePaul students get to see these artists before they are too famous...for free?

I’m really excited to see who will perform at Fest this year because the lineups never disappoint and it’s always fun seeing these concerts. Even if you aren’t too big on concerts or have not been to one, I still recommend grabbing a group of friends to go because that plays a large part in your concert experience.
